Overview
- The device exploded on Rue Révérend Père Louis Frolla Monday evening and wounded three people, two of them in critical condition.
- Security cameras captured a man leaving a backpack on the street moments before the blast and then fleeing toward Beausoleil, France, and police say they have identified the suspect on footage.
- Minister Christophe Mirmand said investigators found screws and shotgun pellets inside the device, and explosive‑ordnance teams plus the Police Scientifique are conducting on‑site forensics.
- Emergency services activated Monaco’s 'plan rouge', dispatched 14 firefighters and specialist vehicles, and requested reinforcements from the Alpes‑Maritimes to treat victims and secure the scene.
- The attack is described as unprecedented for Monaco and has prompted a cross‑border inquiry that could heighten security checks and police cooperation across the Côte d'Azur region.
